Become a feudal king from today - #1109 - Chapter 1120 Collapse
“Boom boom boom…”
On the sea covered in blood and fire, battleships were chasing each other.
The remaining coalition warships fled in all directions like birds and beasts.
The armored ships clung to these fleeing warships, and the rotating turrets and side artillery roared from time to time, sinking the warships that caught up.
Facing the terrifying ironclad ships, the coalition navy completely lost its fighting spirit.
Now, all they can think about is survival.
Because they knew that no matter what tactics they used, their weak sail warships would not be able to defeat Da Song’s new warships.
“Let Gong Ying block the entrance to the inland river immediately. This bastard is so happy with killing now that he has even forgotten what he should do…” The rotating turret of the Jinling smashed a sail warship diagonally ahead. Zhou Yi noticed the Xitu warship. Fleeed into the river.
At this time, Gong Ying was also heading towards the entrance of the inland river, but this guy seemed to be just chasing the Xitu warship.
Song Xiang’s face turned red when he heard this.
After the battle situation completely turned to the Dasong Navy, he was also in a state of excitement. He only thought about killing the enemy and did not pay attention to the entrance of the inland river.
Smiling awkwardly, he immediately ordered the soldiers to convey the order.
Lookouts will be set up on each Dasong battleship to keep an eye on the Jinling to obtain orders in a timely manner.
Seeing the flag change on the Jinling, the watchmen on the watchtower immediately passed down the order.
Gong Ying, who was immersed in the thrill of hunting, quickly learned the order.
His mind suddenly became clear. Gong Ying patted his head and immediately ordered the ironclads to mobilize and lead four sail warships towards the entrance of Calcutta’s inland river.
After destroying the allied warships in the port, he transferred from the sail battleship to the ironclad ship.
Zhou Yi is in charge of the main fleet in the east.
He is in charge of the coalition support fleet coming from the west.
After the main coalition fleet was defeated, the supporting coalition western and southern fleets also quickly collapsed.
This made him furious for a moment.
“I almost let you take advantage of it.” The entrance to Calcutta’s inland river is on the west side of the port.
At this moment, more than ten warships have taken refuge in the inland river.
Seeing more warships coming towards the entrance of the inland river, he ordered the armored ships to use full power, and soon they were on the outside of the entrance to the inland river.
Seeing this, the allied warships that were coming over had no choice but to head out to sea.
And in this round and round, these coalition warships seemed to have missed the best opportunity to escape, and were sunk by the Dasong warships one by one.
“Governor, Governor…”
When the battleship Dasong was chasing south and north, killing allied warships, Bolt suddenly went limp at the port and felt the world spinning and he fainted.
Many British officers and officials immediately rushed forward, and someone shook Bolt.
After a while, Bolt gradually woke up and then burst into tears.
From the certainty of victory at the beginning to the despair now, seeing allied warships being destroyed one after another, his heart was bleeding.
In the end, he couldn’t bear the huge impact of failure and fainted.
For every Briton, it has been a consensus since birth that the British fleet is invincible in the world.
Britain is the center of the West, and the West is the center of the world.
Now, the coalition fleet with the British Fleet as the core suffered an unprecedented defeat in what they considered a barbaric land.
There are nearly five hundred warships. From the beginning of the naval battle until now when they are being chased by the Dasong Fleet, there are already less than one hundred and fifty coalition warships on the sea.
This number will continue to decrease in the future.
The sinking of such a number of warships in a naval battle would be recorded in the pages of history as a shame.
Malfoy, including him, Bolt, will be recorded as a result of this naval battle, leaving him with eternal infamy.
But, these are just things for the future.
In fact, what he couldn’t accept the most was that this battle would mean the fall of Britain’s maritime hegemony.
From now on, Britain will no longer be able to knock on the door of a country in the East with its strong ships and artillery.
In fact, the praise of strong ships and powerful guns may even knock on the door of Western countries.
This feeling of falling from one person to another made him feel suffocated.
But this is the cruel reality.
After witnessing the entire naval battle, he gradually came back to his senses.
The core of the Dasong fleet this time is the twelve new warships with unique shapes.
The current pursuit is also led by these battleships.
These warships, no matter how their warships bombard them, they cannot cause fatal damage to them.
And the sailing speed is even faster than their steamships.
In front of these battleships, his sail battleship was as slow as a snail.
“It’s terrible!” Bolt’s whole body was soaked in cold sweat.
Twelve such battleships defeated their coalition fleet.
If Dasong produces more such warships in the future.
So will Britain still be able to sail freely on the sea in the future?
Their great Britain relied on maritime hegemony to have colonies in every part of the world, creating an empire on which the sun never sets.
Without maritime hegemony, they were like losing their legs and became a lame empire.
“Governor, Admiral Malfoy’s life or death is uncertain. We need to immediately report the news of the defeat of the naval battle to Admiral Harriman.” Bolt is just the Governor of Tianzhu.
This time the coalition was actually led by Malfoy and Harriman.
Due to the sudden and huge changes, both the British officials and military officers in Tianzhu felt that an unprecedented crisis was coming.
They needed Harriman to tell them what to do next.
“No! This news must not be leaked! Harriman is at war with the Great Song Army. If the news of the defeat in the naval battle spreads, it will greatly affect the morale of the coalition soldiers.” Bolt shouted.
Many officers had completely lost the confidence to resist after seeing the power of the Dasong Navy.
Especially officers from other Western countries.
Hearing this, someone shouted, “Governor Bolt, do you still want to foolishly continue to resist? Look at the corpses floating on the sea, do you still want the corpses of Army soldiers to also cover the battlefield?”
“Yes, this is really a stupid war. We are not facing a weak indigenous army, but an army that is stronger than us. We are fighting such an army thousands of miles away. That’s crazy,” someone else yelled.
“Stop pretending to be confused. We have lost the ocean, and there will be no more warships coming from the mainland to support us. That is the same as dying. Once the Dasong Navy blocks the waters of Tianzhu, Tianzhu will become an isolated island. Although Tusman is our allies, but don’t you know how costly it is to transport supplies from land?”
“…”
Many officers spoke to each other, but no one was frightened by Governor Bolt’s status and showed humility to him.
Now, they just want to go back alive and go to military court instead of dying in this hellish place.
